Not Rejected!


Psalm 66:16 Come and hear, all you who fear God,
    and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth,
    and high praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened.
19 But truly God has listened;
    he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

This psalm begins with a call to all the world, especially His people, to come and see what God has done. It includes not only His great acts of delivering His people from bondage and oppression; it also contains the personal things He has done for the psalmist, for his soul.  Notice that what is called for is for us to call out to God in praise no matter what is going on.  Then, when we do call out to Him in time of distress, He is used to hearing our voice call out to Him. He is already listening. We just need to call. Can you personally conclude as the psalmist:

20 Blessed be God,
    because he has not rejected my prayer
    or removed his steadfast love from me!
